Corsair ST100 RGB Premium Headset Stand with 7.1 Surround Sound - 3.5mm and 2xUSB 3.0,Aluminum

I bought these for my husband as a birthday gift. This is his review:I've had my eye on the Corair ST100 headphone stand for quite some time now, but I just never pulled the trigger. Recently my wife surprised me with one for my birthday. It's been an awesome gift, and it will be my pleasure to tell you about it.It's packaged fully assembled. The box has the stand, a USB 3.1 cable for connecting to your computer, and some instructional pamphlets. The build quality of the stand is solid--in an "ideal for home defense" kind of way. You're not going to break this thing unless you're trying to. The bottom of the stand's base is rubberized to keep it from scooting around on your desk, and it's hefty enough that it won't tip over. The top rest is wide enough to accommodate a multitude of headphone styles. While the stand needs one of your computer's USB ports in order to operate, it gives you two USB ports back: one in the top of the base (where a wireless dongle could call home) and one in the right side (where a charging cable might go), next to the familiar 3.5mm audio jack. While Corsair could have taken a page from Apple and made this stand only work with Corsair headphones, it's brand-agnostic. Use whatever you've got. It'll very likely work! I'm using a Corsair HS70 Bluetooth, so I look like a Corsair fanboy--which, of course, I am.You can certainly start using this headphone stand straight out of the box, but my recommendation (and Corsair's) is to visit their website and download the Corsair iCUE software. With iCUE, you can customize the stand's RGB lighting (including syncing with whatever theme your system is using). Since my stand is going to be used in a bedroom office space, I used iCUE to give me a gentle blue glow that shouldn't wreck anyone's sleep.iCUE also allows you to tweak the stand's onboard sound card--and this is where the real fun begins. Those of us who have been using headphones/headsets for awhile know that each manufacturer and design comes with a different voice. Some are boomy at the low end. Some are so harsh with treble they sound like scraping metal together. iCue lets you fix that with a graphic EQ. They even help out EQ newbies by giving you a few presets, and they're well worth playing with.Another audio tweak offered through iCUE is the virtual 7.1 surround sound option. I'm giving this its own paragraph because this feature really stands out. Most headphone virtual surround gimmicks sound like gimmicks, but this? On my maiden voyage, I fired up "Predator." During Dutch's cat-and-mouse confrontation with the alien, I was in awe. If the alien was in front of the camera, those gurgling clicks it makes were in my face. When the alien was supposed to be behind the camera, I'll be darned if that isn't where I heard him. Next up was "Saving Private Ryan" and the opening beach landing scene. Bullets zinged and ricochets ringed, yet dialog was never swallowed. I will note that the virtual 7.1 sounds best when your source audio is as close to that as possible--it doesn't work very well for stereo tracks. Still, it's an impressive magic trick considering your ear cans are only one speaker each. I get the feeling I'll be watching more movies on my PC than I do in our living room because of this.It's a very well-built and stylish headset stand. Corsair has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality products, and they've really knocked it out of the park with this one. Highly recommended!

Works wonderfully with corsair headphones, great for discord voice chats. Size is decent not too small nor too big, leds aren't the brightest some colors are a little dull like the light colors aren't the most vibrant. Quality is great dosent feel like it'll break easily also dosent weight too much pretty light for its size but won't tip over unless intended to tip over. Overall it's stability is great for its weight and size.

If you are looking for a headset stand, look no further. I fell in love with this as soon as I took it out of the box. I was immediately impressed with how high quality it felt. The body of this headset stand is made from aluminum and has a decent weight to it, so it won’t fall over easily. The base underneath the stand consist of a non-slip rubber which prevents it from sliding away. The stand does include a USB 3.1 to Micro-B connector to power the unit. This cable is 6 feet long enabling you to easily place your stand.The stand includes two USB 3.1 Inputs. One is located in the middle of the base and the other is located on the right side of the base. The middle USB input is perfect to place your dongle for your Corsair headset (or any other USB headset you may have)! Also on the right side of the base is a 3.5mm headset input which provides 7.1 virtual surround sound. You can control the features for the 7.1 virtual surround sound via Corsair Utility Engine as well as any equalizer settings for the headset you have connected to the 3.5mm input. The 7.1 virtual surround sound is only for the 3.5mm jack.Now onto the RGB lighting. It’s incredibly cool to look at when it is on. It lights up all around the base and as well as the Corsair Logo. You can customize your lighting settings via the Corsair Utility Engine Software. There are 8 presets to get you started or you can create your own. If you own any other Corsair products, you know exactly how to use the CUE to light it to your liking.Overall this is a high quality, durable headset stand that lights up any color you can think of. Simply put, it’s awesome!

This thing is great and worth every penny. The stand is quality, lighting looks great and goes with the mousepad and ram color themes. The iCue software makes it easy to control the lighting and virtual surround it comes with.Sockets: 2x usb 3.1 gen 1 and 3.5mm analog for those of you who may use that (the 7.1 virtual surround will give the analogue jack that nice sound)My main thing was to have a place to hang my headphones and clear up extra wires off the desk. I plug my hyperx headset into the top upward facing usb which looks really clean. If you're worried about the cable sticking strate up, plug it into the base on the right side.Someone mentioned that there are some edges on back that are sharp- it's the actual rear top corners. As the other review stated they can scratch your case or monitor so make sure to place it in a good spot.Cable quality is great- the usb cable is thicker and high quality.Cost felt a little too high when I ordered it, but once out of the box it changed my mind.Overall I gave it 5 stars and mainly because it frees up usb ports and build quality. Price was a little high, but I dont regret how much I paid. It looks great.
